FYI:
This Week on NATURE on PBS tonight:
Jungle Eagle
Harpy eagles are the most powerful birds of prey in the world. Standing three feet tall, with a six-foot wingspan and razor-sharp talons the size of bear claws, these birds are the heavyweight hunters of the South American rainforest. They are the top predators in the jungle canopy, feeding regularly on tree-dwelling mammals like monkeys and sloths. But scientists know very little about harpy eagles because their numbers are few and their habitat is large. Hidden in the branches of the canopy, they are rarely seen, let alone filmed.
Jungle Eagle premieres Wednesday, November 9 at 8 p.m. ET on PBS

I heard this news was on CBC radio yesterday morning, with an interview with David Hancock. So glad that they were able to help the eaglet. :D That was quite the rescue attempt.

I was delighted to see that a new eaglet has hatched in the Hornby Island Nest! There were two eggs being carefully tended by Mom and Dad Hornby. The first hatched on Apr.28th at 1:39 p.m. :-* Everyone's anxiously awaiting the arrival of the second chick :) Chick #1 has been named "Alexandra" as the first chick to hatch is typically a female, according to the Hornby Island Eagle-cam forum ;D
